A Brashear man was charged with felony drug possession after police allegedly found a syringe loaded with a clear liquid and several powder substances that field-tested positive for methamphetamine he claimed were his.

Larry R. Pranger Jr., 22, is charged with the class C felony of possession of methamphetamine after police found him and another woman allegedly in possession of paraphernalia and baggies with the powdery substance while executing a search warrant at his residence.

According to the probable cause statement, police were searching Pranger’s residence in the 100 block of S. King St. in Brashear Saturday in reference to a search warrant.

During the search, a woman at the residence allegedly told police she had a “rig” on her, referring to a needle and syringe commonly used to inject drugs. Pranger allegedly stated that he had given the needle to the woman to hide when police knocked on the door.

Police also located several baggies containing a white powdery substance that field tested positive for methamphetamine as well as several coffee filters filled with a similar substance.

Pranger was being held in the Adair County Jail as of Monday morning on a $25,000 bond.
